The planning committee for the Adams County Heritage Festival regretfully has made the decision to cancel the 27th annual festival scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 16.

Due to recent rains, the venue of the festival -- the Gettysburg Recreational Park -- is not in condition to host an outdoor festival, and there is a likelihood of more rain to take place over the upcoming weekend.

The indoor event, Bread for Each Other, sponsored by Bakewell Farm as part of the festival, has also been canceled.

Stated in an email received by PennLive on Monday afternoon from the planning committee is the following:

"We express our regret to all who were planning to be part of the festival that celebrates the diverse cultural heritages of our community through sharing food, music, arts and crafts. We hope everyone will be able to join us next year, when the festival is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 15. We will work to engage an alternative location in case weather again precludes an outdoor event."
